Access Roads Programs
• Provides funding to upgrade existing roads or construct new roads serving new or expanding economic development sites, recreational/historical sites, and public use airports
• Locality applies for and CTB approves project specific allocations
• Application deadline – open
• EDA Policy and Guide updated in July-provides additional consideration for ‘Megasites”

Enhancements to Alternatives
► Transitioning to Transportation Alternatives Program established through MAP-21 – which also includes Safe Routes to School and Recreational Trails
► Four previously eligible Enhancement Activities are not included in MAP-21
► Portion of funds will be suballocated to regions (MPOs) based on population
► FHWA is still developing guidance on implementation
► FY13 Enhancement projects had already been approved by CTB
9
Rural Rustic Road Program
A program through which existing VDOT-maintained non-hard surfaced roads can be paved.
Candidate projects: Low density development area Traffic volume of less than
1,500 vehicles per day Roads with minimal safety issues
Program goal is to leave trees, vegetation, side slopes and drainage undisturbed to maximum extent possible without compromising public safety.
More than 650 projects completed since program began in 2003.

Roadways – A Key Transportation Element
23
Transportation is a foundational element for Economic Vitality “America’s transportation network is an important tie binding our economy
together. Out strong and efficient transportation system provides businesses with access to materials and markets, and provides people with access to goods, services, recreation, jobs and other people.” (US Department of the Interior)
“Our transportation system is critical to our Nation’s economy and our quality of life.” (Federal Transportation Advisory Group)
Three major components of the transportation system Air Water Surface (Land)
Roadways are a key component of the Surface Transportation System Most utilized by our City residents and businesses Will remain an essential component
U.S. Department of Transportation: Serve the United States by ensuring a fast, safe, efficient, accessible
and convenient transportation system that meets our vital nation interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people, today and into the future.
U.S. Department of the Interior: America’s transportation network is an important tie binding our

Transportation – “It’s Essential”
24
U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Transportation infrastructure plays a critical role supporting the
nation’s economy. Similar to land, labor, and capital, transportation is a key input to production.
City of Virginia Beach City Council: One of five City Council goals is to improve the transportation
system with more than 20 initiatives (more than any other goal).
Transportation – “It’s Essential”
25
Nationally:
36% of major urban highways are congested
$710 per motorist spent in wasted time and fuel due to congestion
Estimated $186 billion needed annually to substantially improve the nation’s highways (current spending level is $70.3 billion)
33% of major roads are in poor or mediocre condition
More than 26% of the nation’s bridges are either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Transportation – “It’s Essential, but…”
26
Virginia:
Third largest road system in the country with over 70,000 miles of roads.
Vehicle travel increased by 36% from 1990 to 2007.
Over 30% of interstate and primary road lane miles are providing deficient levels of service.
By 2025, 96% of our urban interstates will fail to meet LOS standards.
One in every four of Virginia’s bridges and culverts are either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Transportation – “It’s Essential, but…”

Hampton Roads:
Our region rated as the second worst in the nation for recreational travelers.
